Lot Description

Impeccable strike definition and flawlessly preserved surfaces are important factors in the Superb Gem status of this gorgeously toned specimen. Just 886 pieces were struck, a relatively tiny number by modern standards, but not out of line with typical Morgan dollar Proof issues. The lightly toned centers are surrounded by deep layers of iridescent rose, electric-blue and gold coloration. An awesome, conditionally rare coin that will draw added attention from connoisseurs of dramatic, multicolored toning.<p>Most, if not all Proof 1886 Morgan dollars were distributed to contemporary collectors as part of the year's silver Proof sets, and a high percentage of the mintage has come down to the present day. The typical grade among survivors is Proof-64, however, as most examples display at least a few hairlines, slide marks or other detracting blemishes. Close to pristine, as here, the Proof 1886 is a noteworthy condition rarity that would serve as a highlight in the finest numismatic cabinet.
